Text Zoom – WordPress Font Size Plugin by abilitools

Text Zoom provides users with the flexibility to modify the font size of a website’s text. Contrary to conventional browser zoom functions, this plugin modifies the text size without changing the paragraph’s width, hence offering the user a more natural and comfortable viewing experience. Settings are saved in the local storage. So when users revisit your page the font automatically resizes according to previous, individual adjustments.

To change the font size, this plugin provides the users with 2 easy options

• An adjustable, non-obstructive ZOOM-Widget on the left-hand-side of the webpage. It can blend in and out, without disrupting the website’s viewing experience.
• keyboard shortcuts:
  • Alt +, Alt –, Alt 0 for Windows
  • Option +, Option –, Option 0 for Mac
• To understand how it works you can also watch our Youtube Video{:target=”_blank”}(approx. 30 sec)

Full Admin Control

In order to avoid any problems with the appearance of your site, the plugins offers 3 different options to control the font size changes of your users:

• If you have any set of pages (e.g. /news) where you don´t want your users to change the font size you can add the word „news“ to the Blocklist
